The "user" commands will feel the same, besides of some options you might miss, or suddenly appear. For "admin" commands it will be a little different (user-editing, security and so on), but if you read the handbook (or keep it close to you) you will find your most questions in there. > And all the programs I've got for Linux (Slackware) can I just > recompile them in FreeBSD and get them to work properly there too ? Maybe yes, maybe no. There is a chance they recompile without problem, this is normal for the general unix-programs. There is a chance you need to tweak some paths in makefiles (/usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib), this is due to the difference in approach on how the layout of the filesystem should be for non-base programs. And there is a chance that you won't get it compiled at all, because it uses linux-specific things (#include <linux/*>). As you see, YMMV. But don't forget in this that the binary programs might work easily without a recompile under the Linux-(not emulation but it had a different name)-mode. Enjoy!
